TIE sUpEEyINoRS PAID.
Iight nays Work but Five Days
Compensation.

Deputy United States Marshal Over.
by yesterday paid the supervisors Of
election for their services rendered last
fall. While they served eight days
they were only paid for five, at the
usual rate, s. per day.
The question was asked representa-
tive Of the Disp0foh yesterday why 1t
WAS that these gentlemen were only
paid for a part of their service. The
scribe not being able to meet the in
curry, called at Deputy Overby's Of
fee and sought an explanation from
him.
MIR. Cvorly ed that the 1st OF last
October both Marshal Scott and United
States Commissioner Peasants received
circulars from the Attomey-Gencral OF
the United States TO whom the matter
had been referred, stating that com
pcusation would not be allowed super
vsors for more than five days. This he
tlonght was done because of the fact
that under the Republican Administra-
ton the men sent in bills for days that
they did not serve, thus cheating the
Government.
Mr. OVERLY cntcrtains no doubt that
when the matter is explained TO the
proper department that on account Of
n new registration here last fall, which
took six days, excludinFthe regular
rccistation- and election-days, the com
pcnsation for the remaining three days
viii be sent forthwith.
A few wears ago case arose in Nor
folk in which part Of the supervisors
tie Democratic ones-did not receive
any pay at all. The Chief Supervisor
III making up the time, by mistake or
in some other manner, credited the
Republicans with several more days
than the Democrats. The latter re
fused to receive less than their assoc
ciates, the consequence Of which was
that the money was sent back to Wash
iusfou and the Democrats cot nothing
